Old Fashioned Pineapple Pie Recipe

This Fresh Pineapple Pie Recipe is a favorite old fashioned pie recipe from the 1960s made from scratch with fresh pineapple.

It was one of my dad's favorite pies and I had to learn to make it for him it was so delicious and we couldn't buy one anywhere.

After several times of trying for perfection, my dad said this was the best pineapple pie he ever had and that was a great compliment.

Somehow I managed to get the sweetness of this pie perfectly with fresh fruit instead of the canned they both used!

Although dad's all-time favorite pie was still red raspberry, this surely was a close second for us and a nice change.

It really brought a ray of sunshine in our home during the winter months in Upstate New York when we were in the house for many cold months of snow days!

If you're a pineapple lover out there, this is a must-try!

We all love this pie and I hope you will try some of our other favorite pies like Cannoli Pie and Strawberry Cream Pie.

I am so thankful that dad got to enjoy this pie many times while he was still alive and I will cherish those memories forever.

We love using pineapple in so many ways in chicken, in pineapple cakes, with salmon and it's great even grilled, so we are true pineapple lovers!

Fresh Pineapple

Using fresh fruit is really a must if you want the best pineapple pie you have ever eaten.

Living in Florida, it's a tropical treat for sure and I have occasionally been fortunate to grow my own pineapple plants.

We love apple, raspberry and pineapple are all our favorites and also we love pumpkin pie in fall!

We have actually used 4 cups of crushed unsweetened canned pineapple also in a pinch, but for the best experience, use fresh when you can get it.

Tips:

1. Cook the filling until thickens
2. Spray the pie plate with cooking spray so it doesn't stick
3. Always use fresh pineapple for best results
4. For a change sprinkle the top with cinnamon and sugar before baking
5. Store leftovers in the refrigerator and serve at room temperature
6. In a pinch use frozen pie crust store-bought
7. In a pinch use canned 4 cups crushed pineapple if you can't find fresh

Homemade Pies Are The Best Always

In our home, mom, grandma taught me to cook and I am so grateful.

Everything was homemade, grandma even rendered her own fat to make her homemade crust.

I was always appreciative of the hard work that went into making everything from scratch and it tasted so different than using all the processed foods that make things easier today.

Give this homemade crust a try and if you even want to try rendering your own fat for the crust instead of using shortening in a can.

For all the pineapple pie lovers out there leave me a comment and let me know what you think of this one.

instructions:

1. Filling:
2. In a medium saucepan place the pineapple and sugar in the pan stirring until it comes to a boil.
3. In a small cup add the cornstarch and add water to make a thick but flowing paste.
4. Stir into the boiling pineapple and cook until thickens. You may need more if the pineapple is huge.
